Kitemill the project brings together a team of
six engineering students
from Central School of Lille is to generate electricity using the
powerkite type "Kite". The force developed by the wing will result in a
rotation axis on which the lines are wound. The mechanical energy is
then converted into electrical energy by a generator and stored in
batteries.
Part of this energy is then used to rewind lines, consuming less energy
than it produces. Once returned to the initial position, we start a new
cycle.
This video shows the first tests we have done with our prototype. The
aim was to show the feasibility of the system, a goal that we filled up
producing 150w instantaneous.
